my name is roby curtis...I am a 25 year old singer/songwriter soloist...I live in the heart of brisbane, australia...I am married to an amazing woman named Kathryn, & we have three amazing children, Chloe (2.5 years), Noah (1.5 years) & Jonah (new born)...check them out in the pic...anyways I have been writing music since 2000 and in 2006 I released my first self-titled independent EP/demo...In July 09 I released my first debut Album "people still die" CD+DVD which features 15 tracks & a series of film clips & interviews...I have a love for music & music has played such an important part in making me who I am today... 

I originally began as a drummer when I was 14...I had a passion to be part of a band and to make this my life...it wasn't until I was 16 that I began to sing and experiment with the acoustic guitar...I didnt think much of my voice or my guitar skills so I remained in the closet for quite some time...I loved doing this though...I was invited to join a band at age 17 and to be the vocalist, which for me was such a different step to take...Moving from behing the kit to being front man was a massive step...we were quite successful & gained alot of recognition, but with the pressures and direction of life we each went our own way...this was such a difficult time in my life... 

I grew up in a family which were heavily committed & involved in the christian life...but for me thats all it was...it was at age 19 that I had the most amazing experience...I had began to jam with this guy who was also heavily involved in this ’christian life’...he was an amazing guy and had such a good vibe about him...at this time I was still hurting, & was very confused about myself & my life, & my music...I still had such a passion for music, but I had no clue what to do about it...I had this thing stirring in me about the power of music, & that there was something more to it then just writing songs... over the space of a couple of months my heart was searching in such a huge way...I wanted to fill this void in my head...I wanted to know what it was that I needed to do to gain understanding...I knew that it was close at hand...

this guy I used to jam with would share with me all about his life and would be so open with me about what was going on...he spoke to me about this guy named Jesus...thats right...I said the word...now I knew about Jesus, & I went to church with my folks, but hearing this from a guy my age was so different...he told that he had a relationship with Jesus just like a mate...man he told so much about what Jesus had done in his life and what Jesus had done in the lives of so many people in the history of mankind...now this rocked me hey...he told me that I too could have this in my life...far out man...did I feel like things were starting to make sense...to cut a long story short...this was such a huge moment in my life, but such a difficult one which I knew would challenge the hell out me...I chose to embrace what I heard, and too choose to give this whole thing a go...what I discovered was that it was true...

I began to pray...I began to think differently about life & people...I began to think outside myself & to look at what was actually going on around me...all this hurt and confusion about my life & all that was going on was relieved...I seriously felt liberated for the first time...I felt that everything was ok...i read about jesus and prayed, & the more i did this the more it became clear to me that this was the answer, to my life, to my future, & to my music... wanted desperately to share this with others...we went on to start a christian band & played a stack of shows...I was able to share this discovery with others & I had finally found meaning for all that I do...life didn't suddenly become all pretty and perfect...I still had to battle & choose to live this everyday, & I still do...opening my heart to Jesus transformed my life, & gave me & ultimate vision & purpose...Jesus has liberated my life...Jesus has given me hope...Jesus is my way...my music speaks of this and takes the journey of Jesus in my life, and of Jesus in todays world...

I am very passionate about today about 2 thing; justice for the oppressed & respect & dignity for family...my music speaks strongly of these 2 issues...so many crazy things happen to violate the broken ones of this world & to crush the family unit, but I believe that there is a better way...every man, woman & child deserves to love & be loved...they deserve to have the basic human rights & dignity shown to them...humanity is under attack & I wanna stand strong against the darkness & inject a message of hope into todays culture & encourage us to get back to basics....caring for one another & looking out for the poor on the fringes & regaining our passion for family & true love...together we can turn back the clock & make true & wholesome investments into our people & our kids...we are blest to breathe & experience the beauty around us...together we can make a change...

thanks for reading and I encourage you to be different & live for truth...INVEST IN LIFE...

peace...
